    You think that if the libs and nats collectively have a majority, they won’t reform the coalition?

    Yeah. Even if they don’t get back together (an event I doubt will occur…whether it’s in the next couple of months, just before the next election, or before the 2031 election), if their combined parties have a majority, we’re guaranteed to see a supply & confidence agreement to form a Gillard-era-style minority government at the very least.
